| Me110 with schrage Musik I've been trying to check from pics of the HM Me110 on the web which types have the oblique cannons (schrage musik) fitted. From what I can tell in the Me110 these were fitted in the rear of the cockpit, evicting the rear gunner, and protruded just above the canopy cover. I can't see any indication on the current HM Me110s as to these being fitted on the nightfighter versions available, though I thought they were present on at least one. Are they, and if so on which one, and is there a pic available if yes? Thanks, Gary | |||||||||||||

| Re: Me110 with schrage Musik Sorry if I am a bit ignorant on the ME-110 subject, but those guns were fired by a rear gunner correct?  The reason I ask is because of the comment about evicting the rear gunner> | |||||||||||||

The rear gunner wasn't evicted, he serviced the weapons. The pilot fired sighting upward. | ||||||||||||||

| Re: Me110 with schrage Musik My mistake, given the size of the installation I assumed the rear gunner was left behind, more so as I understand the rear MGs had to be removed. Gary | |||||||||||||

| Re: Me110 with schrage Musik
Was the pilot able to move the guns all around or just up and down?? Would be a bit tough the deal with those and fly and fire up front don't you think? | ||||||||||||||

Bluenose B, the German pilots had no difficulty using this weapon to devastating effect, most bomber crews never knew what hit them. It begs the question , why didn't the Lanc have a couple of guns slung underneath? | ||||||||||||||
